But the problem is that critical theory is subversive and dangerous. It is so precisely because in practice it provides infinite freedom to believe whatever you want. Policies an abject failure initially? No worries--you can't evaluate a critical theory until it's succeeded in its emancipation. Do you seem ridiculously unobjectively biased towards a particular idea? Oh, but what's really important is whether you're forming a dynamic unity with the oppressed class. People arguing that you're wrong? Well, that's part of imperialist enlightenment thinking used to wield power. And anyway, all that stuff you're saying is how you see it because all theory is inherently value-laden and culturally-constructed; you're programmed to see it that way but my critical approach has allowed me to see more justly.

You never, ever, ever simply have to sit down and admit: I'm just plain objectively wrong.

I basically agree with most of your article, but the critical theory bit is weird. All sorts of other things are going on there, many of which aren't that different than conspiracy theories, even if you do get there somewhat differently.
